Queen looking for help with letters

In an age of emails and texts, Queen Elizabeth II, known for her partiality towards the traditional method of writing letters, is looking for a correspondence officer to help her with her mails.

The Royal website states: “The correspondence office deals with most of the general public correspondence addressed to the Queen. The office deals with a high volume of mail, all of which requires sensitive handling and thoughtful replies.”

Bathroom cleanest hotel place to eatLondon: Holidaymakers should think twice before taking their breakfast in bed, as new research suggests that the bathroom is actually the most hygienic place to eat in most hotel bedrooms.

Mattresses and duvets, however, are rarely cleaned, making them among the dirtiest places.

The research, which included a poll of female travellers, was carried out by Check Safety First.

It claimed that one in five women suffer from some form of illness during a hotel stay, a statistic it says poor hygenie is responsible for. ANI
